carbs and fats together

[red5260]

There is a group of videos on youtube of Evan Centopani prepping his meals and stuff. He mixes whey, macadamia oil and oats together in a blender bottle. I thought you were suppose to have fats and carbs seperate from one another. Either protein fat or protein carb meals.

No, it's better to have your fats and carbs together. The fats slow the digestion/absorption of the carbs, giving you a steadier release of carbs/insulin in your bloodstream.


The reason why some say you shouldn't eat carbs with fat is because they're worried that the insulin release from carbs will store the fat as fat... The problem with that reasoning is that that simply isn't how the human body works. If you eat carbs with fat but you're still burning more calories than you're taking in, then you'll lose fat! It's all about caloric intake at the end of the day.
